Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister and team, for being here today.
I have to congratulate you, Minister. You've put a lot of legislation through in the past year, as well as what your vision is now. It is long overdue.
I want to touch on and speak about some of the topics that Mr. Hardie brought forward as they relate to trade corridors.
Can you give us some information and an update on your vision with respect to the different layers that you've established when it comes to the national transportation strategy—trade corridors, modernization of ports, infrastructure investments—and working with our municipal, private sector, regional, provincial, and territorial partners? I heard in your opening remarks about innovation and modernization. I heard economic enhancement. I heard strategy integration and, once again, infrastructure investments. Obviously they will allow us to perform much better on a global economic stage.
Can you comment on that and where you see us going in 2018, 2019, and beyond?
